Prince – Self Titled LP Fashion

Expanding the urban R&B and funk approach of his debut, Prince is a considerably more accomplished record than his first effort, featuring the first signs of his adventurous, sexy signature sound. Although the album is still rather uneven, a handful of songs rank as classics. I Wanna Be Your Lover is excellent lite funk and Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad? is a wonderful soulful plea, but I Feel for You, a sexy slice of urban R&B with a strong pop melody, is the true masterpiece of Prince, indicating the major breakthroughs of his next album, Dirty Mind.
